Several years ago, my brother-in-law gave me this old Savage M99 take-down rifle in .300 Savage caliber. His father bought the rifle, brand new, in 1937! It has been on two actual hunting trips. The rest of the time, it resided in his closet!
Occasionally, I take it out and shoot it just to be sure it's "healthy." It shoots like gang busters!
These old take-down models are fairly rare, especially one that's this clean.
Good Morning, my dad had one of these rifles, every year during deer season, he would let me carry and shoot if the situation arises. It is a beautiful gun, it was always cleaned and oiled after a hunt, regardless if it needed it. I really liked it. Shot spot on killed several deer and pigs, never dropped. Then, my dad's house was broken into and took all the pistols and rifles, this is the only rifle that was never found. And Life goes on.
That is a beautiful piece of gun smithing.
